Kansas State University Athletic Training Program

“Day 31 which means the last day of National Athletic Training Month! Although its the last day its still a special one!

Today we get to celebrate the ones that have given everything and more to make each one of these students dreams a reality! These five individuals have impacted so many lives in more ways than one, they work countless hours to make sure we have everything in the world to succeed to greatness!

Thank you so much for everything you do and it does not go unrecognized!

Here is to the 2025 National Athletic Training Month!”

- L2 student, Kaitlynn D**e

L1 student Colby is all in when it comes to baseball! We hope he gets to enjoy a great opening day as a professional in the future! (We’ll be there for the hot dogs 🌭- and to cheer on Colby, of course 🥳).

Happiest of birthdays to L2 student, Austin 🥳.

We hope you have the best day celebrating and are looking forward to celebrating you, and your classmates, some more in just a few weeks!!! 👨🏻‍🎓🎓💜

We love seeing the impact that other professionals have on our students and helping shape their futures! It’s Athletic Trainers, like Amanda, who provide the experiences and opportunities for our students to get excited about the profession and their futures!

L2 student Alyssa is just a few weeks away from starting her future & we can’t wait to see what future AT’s SHE inspires 😌.

L1 MSAT student, Aiden, is getting ready to head down to his clinical placement at Cowley County Community College next week! He’s going to work with some amazing preceptors, including a KSU Athletic Training Program Alum! 💜

Sometimes our path to becoming a health professional has a few twists. Zach’s was just that - he started as an Engineering major but soon found he was passionate about health and helping others. Cue: the Athletic Training & Rehab Sciences undergrad degree, that helped prepare him for the MSAT program!

Now a L2 MSAT student, Zach is under a week until he takes his certification exam! 🥳

As we giddy-up into the last week of NATM, we thought we’d continue to share some of the cool opportunities our students have - like helping with the K-State rodeo! 🤠 🐴💜

🚨🚨 Governor Kelly has signed ✍️ the SB 175 modernizing the state practice act for athletic trainers and provides an exemption for out of state athletic trainers working in Kansas.
